to see if it's reproducible on
other machines. Have you tried any of these scripts to see if it's a

Subject: Re: Problem when
I am having a problem using Cygwin, variable assignment, and backticks

backticked expression are not properly assigned; they are left empty.
The problem appears to be non-deterministic.
For instance, take this script:
#!/bin/bash
#
